Emergency Alerting & Preparedness Infrastructure Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety Communications
High Priority
About this project
Identified gaps in emergency preparedness — including an unverified Emergency Operations Plan, limited mass notification reach due to resident self-registration dependency, and the absence of a dedicated river alert system — have been underscored by recent declared emergencies including flooding, a winter storm, and a gas leak. These operational vulnerabilities place residents and staff at risk and signal an urgent need to consolidate and expand alerting capabilities.
The opportunity
The newly adopted FY2026–2027 budget includes dedicated public safety technology funding, and federal grant programs such as HSGP and EMPG offer aligned, accessible funding paths with cooperative procurement options available. Acting within this budget cycle positions the county to close preparedness gaps, strengthen community-wide alert coverage, and reduce operational and compliance risk.
CJIS 6.0 Credential Security & MFA Compliance Upgrade
Cybersecurity · Compliance & Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
CJIS Security Policy 6.0 mandates upgraded password controls, multi-factor authentication, and annual cybersecurity training—requirements that carry non-negotiable enforcement timelines for public safety agencies. Gaps in credential management and access controls expose the county to audit findings, potential loss of criminal justice data access, and broader operational risk.
The opportunity
A budget-approved $500K IT security allocation, combined with eligible grant funding through HSGP, EMPG, and Local JAG, creates a well-funded, time-sensitive window to act. Addressing compliance now reduces enforcement risk, strengthens public safety data integrity, and aligns with the current fiscal cycle before CJIS 6.0 deadlines take effect.
Server Infrastructure Replacement & IT Systems Management
IT Modernization · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Aging server infrastructure approaching end-of-life poses operational continuity and security risks for a hybrid environment running critical public safety systems. Centralized endpoint and systems management tooling is needed to maintain service reliability, support CJIS compliance requirements, and reduce administrative burden on IT staff.
The opportunity
A $400K budget has already been approved for FY2027 (effective September 1, 2026), creating a near-term, funded procurement window. Cooperative purchasing agreements and supplementary grant programs such as HSGP and Local JAG provide additional pathways to maximize investment and accelerate delivery.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing web properties have identified gaps against ADA Title II WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, exposing the entity to legal and compliance risk. Existing content management infrastructure provides a foundation for remediation, but action is required before the compliance deadline.
The opportunity
The WCAG 2.1 Level AA deadline is a hard, time-bound mandate with high urgency, and the newly adopted FY2026–2027 budget creates an immediate funding window. Cooperative purchasing agreements offer a streamlined procurement path, reducing time-to-compliance and supporting equitable public access.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety and In-Vehicle Evidence Collection Modernization
Fleet Safety & Telematics · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A recent $50K auto-liability settlement, a pending RFP for in-vehicle and body-worn cameras, and a newly established County Vehicle Use Policy with an Incident Review Committee signal an active, liability-driven initiative. Without improved driver behavior monitoring and incident evidence collection, the county remains exposed to ongoing financial and legal risk across its fleet.
The opportunity
A formal RFP is imminent, and institutional readiness is confirmed through policy adoption and committee formation, making this an ideal moment to act within the current procurement cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements and public safety technology funding may reduce local cost burden while strengthening fleet accountability and resident safety outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Aging communications infrastructure is limiting interoperability and operational readiness for public safety personnel. A $4.71M capital allocation and a new IT Public Safety position signal urgent, large-scale procurement need to sustain mission-critical response capabilities.
The opportunity
With FY2027 budget funding already approved and active as of September 2026, this project is immediately actionable within the current fiscal cycle. Supplemental pathways such as HSGP and EMPG grants may further offset costs, accelerating procurement and strengthening regional emergency response outcomes.
